Quotes
I had to have a laparoscopy where I had to have consistent scar tissue removed. Making personal issues I’ve had, though, part of my work has been important to me. Drew dove right in. She didn’t make it about herself. She took the story and pulled it from her own. I didn’t even know she had struggles. It is just a great episode. I was proud of the work the characters did and how everyone came together.
That is the great thing about art in that sometimes it does imitate life. Kudos to the network and writing team who work hard to have our storylines really connect with the audience. We spend time talking about various things we’ve gone through. Me being from Chicago, which is where the show takes place, there are so many similarities. With Aaliyah going through a divorce, in real life and my personal life, I’m going through one as well. When it came time to discuss the episode where Aaliyah found herself with the endometriosis diagnosis, it really hit home. You can see in the episode it’s really emotional to me
People always reach out how much they love the show. For this episode, I’ve received over 50 on social media. I’m trying to get through all these DMs because I do personally respond. Women just being thankful for the episode and asking me questions about what they should do, the medications, and who they connect with. I’m happy we are getting the word out. It was a very timely and important episode, so I’m grateful to open this conversation about the topic and normalize it.
It’s the unknown because dealing with this diagnosis, there are options thankfully that Aaliyah discovers. It’s not that you can’t bear children. There are options for surrogacy and even adoption. She asked Kimberly if she and her brother would be open to carrying her child. It’s a real conversation. It’s a hard conversation. It’s a tough conversation, but it’s not all bad news when it comes to wanting to start a family. I’m hoping in Season 3, fingers crossed, that we do go down this road of seeing Aaliyah hopefully get married again and start a family. It’s really exciting to think about. I do hope we experience that.
